[nagdu] Leader's Kapten Plus Event

[Steven Johnson]

Buddy, thanks for posting this.  LD held their Press Conference today
releasing information on this new device.  Many LD graduates have tested
this and have compared and contrasted it to that of the Breeze which LD also
uses/issues to their grads.  I do not know at this time if there is a
comparative analysis on these two devices, but size is the biggest factor as
it is the size of a credit card, and the price is significantly less.  

I am waiting to hear back from some of my LD peers who attended the
unveiling.  

Steve

Hi,

For those of y'all who missed it, Leader is now selling a GPS. Apparently it
sports some improvements over the original Kapten, like a location function,
a "free navigation" mode that will tell you about things you're walking
past, and other interesting things. Only $295, a lot more affordable than
other solutions like Trekker or Mobile Geo. I ordered one and will give a
full report when I get it.

Here's a link to full specifications:
